Outta Whack


Lesser Flamingo
Photo by Carol Reynolds  

This lesser flamingo photo rather shows how I have been feeling lately; I was going strong with my painting and then my back went outta whack!   Stay tuned for more paintings soon.   I will attempt to paint tomorrow; I am almost finished with one landscape and have another one off to a good start.   

Speaking of landscape paintings, on Matthew Innis' blog he has an informative article about  an excellent young artist, Dan Schultz, which shows a step-by-step procedure of a painting in progress to its completion, as well as other works by this artist now residing in Ojai , California.   I am always curious about what colors  other artists use, and the article gives Schultz's palette as well.  I personally should use a more limited palette, but I positively love color and enjoy trying various new colors from time to time so I have a wide assortment to chose from.   Check out www.danschultzfineart.com

December Art Sale - "Seeing Red" (Still Life)


"Seeing Red"
6" x 8" oil on panel
$200

I had a grand time with this oil painting of a red tulip and red striped material.   Looking at it again makes me want to paint another still life, but currently I am working on two landscapes that I hope to complete soon.

This is the last painting offered in the December Art Sale.   All paintings will remain the same sale price through the month of December, and those not sold will revert back to their original higher price beginning January 1. 

Please contact me at reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com  to purchase this or any other painting on this blog.  There is more contact information on the "Contact and Purchase" link above.

December Art Sale - "Got The Blues" (Seascape)


"Got The Blues"
5" x 7" Oil on canvas
$150

This oil seascape is typical of the Hawaiian islands and is based on one of my reference photos taken on Oahu.  I love to watch the waves crash against the rocks and hear the sounds of the surf.   Such power !

I am offering two paintings today in the December Art Sale because they make such a nice set if you would like to purchase both of them for $400.   Otherwise, they are $225 each.  They are on stretched canvas and the sides are also painted so you may display them unframed if you wish, although they are more elegant when framed.

December Art Sale - Diamond Head Lighthouse And Beach


"Diamond Head Lighthouse And Beach"
9" x 12" acrylic on canvas
$355
(unframed)

Diamond Head Lighthouse is a short distance from Waikiki Beach on Oahu.   This is one of my more impressionistic works; sometimes when I stress color in a painting it will take on a more "painterly" look than my tighter realistic ones.

Again, this is a special price for the entire month of December, after which- if the painting is not sold -it will revert back to its original price.  Email me at reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com  with your information and I will send you a PayPal invoice if you would like to purchase this painting.
